I will keep this short and sweet in the interest of your valuable time as a representative of myself and the other citizens of America. I am in opposition of the recent talk concerning my rights as a United States citizen to keep and bear arms. Both semi-automatic rifles and high capacity magazines are necessary for myself and millions of other US citizens that desire to keep themselves safe from harm either from criminals or a tyrannical government. Please do not deprive me of my rights, I will not become a victim of violence simply because I am restricted in my ability to defend myself and my family. I hope that this letter does not fall upon deaf or biased ears. I implore to you realize that the majority of letters you receive are from people in opposition to this recent legislation not from those who are supportive of it.
